Tristan Thompson has a total of 8 rebounds through two games. Warriors have effectively neutralized him with Zaza and McGee.

Read a piece last week where Tristan Thompson was so distraught over not playing well for the Cavs in a game last year that he was crying in the showers and teammates had to come get him out.

With that knowledge, I feel bad for the breh right now. You gotta respect somebody who has that kind of competitive spirit :francis:

:mjlol:

Howard is :trash:

A Diva at Time's? Yes
Head not in the game at Times? Yes
Heart is questionable at times? Yes

Trash? No

He can still be a force when he wants to, Dwight Anchored Atlanta Defense that finished in the top 5

And 13.5 points, 12.7 rebounds and 1.2 blocks is not Trash
 

General Mills

More often than not I tend to take that L.

Well... let me clarify. I am hard on Dwight because it makes no sense to me that he has not developed his offense since he was a 2nd year player.

If he could add a halfway reliable post move.. he would be un stoppable. I have no problem with his defense or his rebounding. Now his free throws and offense other than dunks are trash.

To be fair Gsw would not need him to score. They have plenty of weapons. You would think though if all GSW would want is a defensive rebounding center they could get a cheaper younger guy with less miles than Dwight.

Well javale is as good as gone and defensive centers that are in shape arent just laying around. If someone like dwight and tyson chandler is available theyll take them even if their over the hill. Same for cleveland

"That's the best player in the world possibly"[/B] - Kenny Smith last night on Durant

I expect that "possibly" to drop in time, Kenneth :mjgrin:



Does GSW want a guy who can't hit free throws, inherently creating a flaw in an otherwise flawless team? :patrice:

When Piru Pierce dropped the science on the post game show, Jalen and Billups rushed to defend Bron with nothing but a "because I said so" narrative. Nothing to back it up. I heard Ryen Rusillo and Bomani on Mike & Mike this morning with the same "because I said so" routine as if they don't wanna accept it.

More or less. Just because these guys have degrees and 6 figure bank accounts and TV time don't mean they're immune to being stubborn as fukk and wrong about lots of shyt.

The Coli and ESPN may be more alike than we think :lupe:

LeBron looks older, his tank goes on E fast now, he's approaching 33 been in the league 15 years. He's 6'8 260, to continue to play and compete against The Warrior's in the future he's going to have to drop 20 pounds and get his cardio up

It's not that they need another star. They need guys who can handle the ball and play defense. They really only have 2 guys who can handle the ball and 2 guys who can play defense. They rely way too heavy on a 14 year guy to do everything for them. They're out here leaning on shumpert, Kyle korver, Channing frye, and deron Williams off the bench in 2017. None of them should be in the rotation on a team competing for a title except maybe korver if you have enough good defenders that you can hide him.

@Malta tell me how this team is deep again beloved
